Emozioni al Turriglio
Dance, music, and poetry at the foot of the ancient Roman monument in Cinzano
About Emozioni al Turriglio
A stage in the shadow of a Roman monument
Emozioni al Turriglio is an evening of live performance held in the Cinzano hamlet of Santa Vittoria d'Alba, a small town in the Roero region of Piedmont. The setting is truly unique: the event comes to life at the foot of the Turriglio, a circular-based Roman monument that some scholars date to the 1st century BC, and which tradition links to the victory of Consul Gaius Marius over the Cimbri and Teutons (101 BC). For one night, this testament to the ancient Romanization of the lands between Alba and Pollenzo becomes a natural open-air stage.
Dance, music, and poetry
The artistic program weaves together three different languages. Dance, both classical and contemporary, is performed by the young talents of the Il Sole a Mezzanotte group, presenting choreography inspired by memory and the dialogue between past and present. Music is the beating heart of the evening, with a tribute concert performed by Fabrizio Piumatti and his band, dedicated to the legends of Italian songwriting. Completing the picture are interludes of poetry and reflection, crafted around the theme of hope.
A local cultural project
The event is promoted by the Anforianus ODV association, in collaboration with local Roero organizations and supported by institutions and foundations dedicated to cultural preservation. More than just a festival, Emozioni al Turriglio is a way to give back to the community by celebrating a landmark site and telling its story through the arts.

Why it’s worth attending
In a Piedmont often associated with large food and wine festivals, Emozioni al Turriglio offers something different: an intimate, open-air experience where art dialogues with a thousand-year-old monument. It is the perfect opportunity to discover a lesser-known corner of the Roero and enjoy a summer evening suspended between history and performance.
